What album changed you? - Dallas Dance Music - Dallas nightlife, music, tickets, and more

djredeye · 10-22-08, 10:05 PM

I was just getting ready to go out and i'm listening to Construction time Again by my all time faves Depeche Mode. I've kinda had to stop a couple of times because its taken me back to when i was in the 7th grade and hearing it for the first time. It changed everything i thought about music and to this day makes me feel like that seventh grader listening to it over and over ad nausea to my parents total dismay. Which lps do that for you?

I'm going to purposefully leave off the obvious choices that will be listed and go to the ones (artists) that still have an effect on me:

Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes
Mazzy Star - So That Tonight I Might See
Built to Spill - There's Nothing Wrong With Love
Jawbreaker - Dear You / Jets to Brazil - Orange Rhyming Dictionary
Thievery Corporation - The Richest Man In Babylon
Imogen Heap - Speak for Yourself

Two albums from my youth set me off musically. I attended a community Christian school and knew nothing but Amy Grant and religious music up till about age 8 with smatterings of my mom's old records in the background.

Saturdays spent cleaning our house with her she used to jam Quincy Jones' "The Dude" from start to finish. There are too many good tunes off of it, but this one stands out. I played this last time out at Zubar:

Being with him was good times and would pray for the days he'd come and get me. That album was on a loop and I was mesmerized by the guitar along with all of the singers in Paul's entarouge. __________________ *Drinking for the motherland, thinking for myself.* Last edited by PeterS; 10-22-08 at 11:09 PM.

I was in elementary and some kid down the street from me had a cassette that he supposedly lifted from his brother. We put it on my little boom box and proceeded to do tic tacs on our skateboards in front of the house for fucken hours. I knew at that moment I was going to dress different, think different and just be a different person overall. I literally went into my room that night and tore down all the kid shit on my walls and spent the next several weeks STUDYING Hit Parader and whatever other mags I could get my hands on. My mom freaked when she walked into my room one day and saw a picture of Tom Araya and Kerry King (Slayer) on my wall. She did all sorts of shit to keep me from listening to that "evil" music. But trying to keep that stuff from a kid is like trying to stop a tidal wave of drugs comming into this country. We'd huddled around at the playground to talk about these bands and what new cassettes we'd gotten. It was like fucken drugs only better. There was no fucken going back. Devil horns for LIFE! :P __________________ *Drinking for the motherland, thinking for myself.*

umalak_ Spurs > Mavs Join Date: Feb 2007 Posts: 9,361	there are a couple... ones that i think of off the top of my head: Aerosmith : Get Your Wings - my entire childhood up until i was a teenager was all about old school rock and Aerosmith was my favorite... everything up until Rocks is just fucking amazing. Seasons of Wither Close You need to upgrade your Flash Player Deep Purple : Made in Japan - i feel about DP like most feel about a band like Pink Floyd... just completely transcendent. Deep Purple - Child In Time - Made In Japan Close You need to upgrade your Flash Player Neil Young : Comes A Time and later Harvest Moon (and many others) - yeah, i went into a total folky type phase... everything from Dylan to Joni Mitchell.. Steeleye Span... Fleetwood Mac even. just all kinds of stuff and it was all spawned for me by Neil Young. Neil Young - Dreamin' Man Close You need to upgrade your Flash Player Husker Du : Zen Arcade Dinosaur Jr : You're Living All Over Me Screaming Trees : Uncle Anesthesia Matthew Sweet : Girlfriend Flipper : Public Flipper Limited - just all kinds of newer rock... took me awhile to find something newer that i liked listening to. i pretty much only listened to classic rock up until this point. Pearl Jam : Ten - it really sucked when Andy Wood died and i wasn't sure what all was going to happen after that... and i was pleasantly surprised when Ten was released. Pearl Jam - Black Close You need to upgrade your Flash Player Die Warzau : Engine Frontline Assembly : Tactical Neural Implant Alien Sex Fiend : Too Much Acid? Skinny Puppy : VIVIsectVI any number of other industrial albums... started getting me into other stuff besides rock music. De/vision : World Without End (or Zehn) - this was when i first realized that there were current bands still making good synthpop... i thought it had mostly died in the 80s. have to lump in Wolfsheim and Beborn Beton into this as well. de/vision - your hands on my skin - studio version Close You need to upgrade your Flash Player there's more but i'll stop there.... __________________ "The fiend in his own shape is less hideous than when he rages in the breast of man." - Hawthorne (Young Goodman Brown) "Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it." - Thoreau (Resistance To Civil Government) "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears the beat of a different drummer." - Thoreau (Walden)
